Darwin, C. R.

Darwin-Hooker Letters

Has finished long paper on "Climbing plants". Prefers sending it to Linnean Society if Bentham does not think it too long. For New Zealand flora [1864–7] Darwin suggests Hooker count plants with irregular corollas and compare with England. Does not quite agree about Reader. Is Tyndall author of piece on spiritualism? Darwin's illness diagnosed as "suppressed gout".
